Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 273
Left with no choice, Roselynn opened the door in her nightgown. Outside the
door stood Jaxton, who was wearing a fierce expression.
âWhat? Arenât you going to let me sleep?â
âStop sleeping and get up to greet my parents!â Jaxton ordered in a cold
voice, but his eyes roamed across her fair skin.
The only reason why he would bear the pressure from his family to marry this
common woman was only because of her excellent figure and features.
Unfortunately, he was unable to get a taste of her to this day, and he could
barely hold it in any longer.
âOh, okay. Iâll come down after I changeâ¦â
Roselynn turned around and headed back inside. It was a part of tradition for
a bride to greet her inâlaws by serving them tea on the day of the wedding,
so she did not think much of it. However, Jaxton suddenly wrapped his arms
around her from behind and even glided his hands across her body.
âWhat are you doing?â Roselynn hurriedly pushed him away, starting to feel
repulsed by him.
He had been wellâmannered and polite before their marriage, leading her to
believe that he was a gentleman. Moreover, she only agreed to marry him as
he came from a good family and was quite romantic as well. However, he
was now acting very differently from the past, and it was beginning to scare
her.
Roselynn only believed in marriage after seeing how happy Emmanuel was
with Mackenzie even though they got married in a rush. Compared to her
brother who had signed the marriage papers the day after his blind date, she
and Jaxton had dated for two months, so she did not think that she was in
any danger. And yet, things werenât turning out how she expected them to,
and she was already regretting her decision to marry him..
âYouâre already my wife. Canât I hug you? Is it that embarrassing?â Jaxton
demanded, losing his temper.
If it were in the past or if they were in the Lowe Residence, Roselynn wouldâve
definitely thrown a tantrum as well.
However, she held her fury in and said, âYour parents are waiting for us to
greet them, so we donât have time to waste here. Hurry up and leave!â
At that, she pushed Jaxton out despite his unwillingness.
âHmph, stop pretending to be innocent when youâre in your thirties! Iâm going
to expose your true colors one day!â Jaxton grumbled to himself outside the
door.

By then, Roselynnâs sleepiness had completely vanished. After a look at her
dark eye circles in the mirror, she decided to take some time to doll herself
up in order to leave a good impression on her inâlaws.
Half an hour later, she finally headed to the main hall with Jaxton, where
Sebastian and Jennifer had grown impatient from waiting. On the contrary,
Jessica, who had been so haughty the previous day, remained quiet with a
strange expression on her face.
âWhatâs wrong? Roselynn, are you not willing to prepare tea for us old folk?â
Although Jennifer was inwardly peeved, she still spoke to Roselynn with a
smile.
âMrs. Oatley⦠Thatâs not true, I was just a little tired from yesterdayâ¦â Roselynn
replied with a weary smile.
âStill going to call me Mrs. Oatley?â Jennifer asked with a smile.
Meanwhile, Jaxtonâs face darkened as the conversation continued. This
woman has no tact at all!
âMom, Dad, please have some tea!â
Roselynn tried her best to go along with their wishes, all the while reminding
herself to get used to change, and that things would get better soon.
âAlright!â
In the end, Sebastian and Jennifer did not lose their temper and even gifted
Roselynn a large amount of money each. Roselynn responded to this with a
smile, but she wanted to get along with her inâlaws in the future more than
money.
However, Jennifer immediately instructed her, âIâll let you off since itâs the first
day, but remember to refer to me correctly in the future. Also, you have to
come out and serve tea for us every day at sixâthirty in the morning!â
âWhat?â Roselynnâs smile immediately froze. âEâEveryday?!â
